Here is the video of a prototype at SEMA

I believe this is their website

I have no idea how they plan on pulling off some obvious problems which would arrive. But I can actually see a market for these.

I just want to scream "WHY???" What is the purpose? Unless you have a pic of a nice set of Forgelines on the screens at all times.

The next level for Donks.

Haha yeah you could have a entire database of rims and just have them switch depending on your mood. Great way to save money.

I saw their booth at SEMA. They intended to use the wheel covers for advertising on cabs and such, but I'm sure the DONK crowd will use them to show "Da Brat's" latest video.

Here's a pic.

I remember reading a story of a Congressman or a Govenor a while back trying to outlaw flashy rims because apparently "when the car stopped but the wheels kept spinning" it distracted him enough to cause him to hit another car. I can only think of what he might do when he looks over and see a sexy commerical on those same wheels.

Yeah I'm sure it won't take long for some politcian to try and have those banned.

Who will be the first to play P0rn on these!

I call those "Baby's Daddy" wheels - just when you think ridiculousness had plateaued with donks, this comes through and shatters the 'tard barrier.

I myself find these wheels ridiculous, and other then advertisement, I see no purpose, but why do we have to use the stereotypes of the urban youth to bash these wheels? I don't understand the donk trend, or any of that stuff, but it's a trend that was set by someone, and there are some misguided kids out here following the trend. I'm sure that you guys remember following a trend growing up that was ridiculous. Pro street on the street maybe? Imitating a monster truck in high school? Hanging on to the 70's too long? You know it's up to us as leaders to shape trends and make sure that garbage like this does not make out on the streets. Not to criticize kids that are not fortunate, and are shaped by tv and media. Just my two cents.

the new "spinner rim".

[Project69]

The next level for Donks.

LOL can you imagine a guy driving next to you on 60" LCD!!!

Who will be the first to play P0rn on these!

I will but only girl on girl ofcourse

[dusterbd13]

as a guy that gets paid to work with the less fortunate/urban youth/troubled/mentally ill (deopends on the day of the week, and what location im at as to wich one), Khool67 has hit it right on. the wheels are absolutely ridiculous, yes. but some kids are going to love them, and pay for them. and who's to blame? us, for not doing something constructive about it when we had the opportunity.

so kudos, Khool67 for making this point.

Yea, you guys are right about the donk sized LCD wheels. I'm sure the target audience is suburban soccer moms and retired upper class 60 somethings.....lets get serious - calling a spade a spade does not change the fact that they will go straight to rap videos.

Anybody care to make a wager (I have paypal).

[CRCRFT78]

why do we have to use the stereotypes of the urban youth

No matter what trend it is, these DO NOT belong on ANY vehicle operating on ANY public road/highway. Regardless if it is the urban youth or the average suburban soccer mom. All these are are a distraction to those trying to operate their vehicles in a safe and responsible manner on public roads and highways. Everyone said the same thing about 20 inch rims being tacky until we urban youth took them under our wing and now every suburbanite that couldn't stand the idea of anything other than a stock wheel has them on their vehicles/suvs so I don't think this has anything to do with what demographic will have them, THEY DO NOT BELONG ON THE ROAD FROM A SAFETY STANDPOINT PERIOD in my opinion.

[Project69]

THEY DO NOT BELONG ON THE ROAD FROM A SAFETY STANDPOINT PERIOD in my opinion.

Yes you are totally correct. These will HAVE to come with a "Check your local law before operation while vehicle is in motion" sticker. Because if you cant have fuzzy dice hanging from your rear view mirror, then why would they allow a TV on the outside of the vehicle?
